I have been looking at more realistic shadows and lighting, especially on the face. I like drawing water, especially flowing water. I also discovered using the brush on lower opacity made the hair strands blend in a lot better, so that was nice

Those poses are very pretty and charming! I like the hands too, they look nice, especially the one on the left of the drawing
Sorry, I don’t know the names
On the skirts, I think they are pleated, if they are, then for pleated skirts, there is a waistband at the top which the folded fabric are all connected to. Depending on whether it’s smooth or fabric bunched up on the elastic will change how you draw that part, or it may be a kind with a zipper on the side as well. There are a lot of types of pleated skirts.
If it is a box pleat, accordion pleat or something similar, it would connect up to the waist band, so you’d see it running up to the waistband. If it’s a top stitched pleat, the top part near the waist is stitched together, which can look like a line from the top to the triangle shadow or gap created underneath.
Of course, it depends on what you’re drawing and choose to highlight, but it can help to possibly make the triangle or lines for the pleats run higher up? I’m sorry for such a long response, I don’t like telling people to do things without an explanation, so they can choose whether it applies or not Let me know if anything was wrong or missing anything important, and I’ll change it!
Your completely right!! I have trouble with drawing pleated skirts so I should've used a reference-! But it will definitely keep this in mind, thank you so much for the feedback!!`:D
